How to Make Raspberry Jam

  1. Core 2 pounds of ripe tomatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks.
  2. Process the tomatoes in a blender until completely smooth.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the blended tomatoes with 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Boil for 15 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Stir in 1 (3 ounce) package of raspberry-flavored Jell-O powder until completely dissolved.
  6. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
  7. Seal the jars according to your preferred method (refrigeration, freezing, or water bath canning for 10 minutes).
